Abstract
THE Society of British Aircraft Constructors recently held a flying display and static exhibition of aircraft aero engines, equipment and materials at the Radlett Aerodrome of Handley Page, Ltd. It was intended to appeal primarily to foreign and overseas users, and included both fighting service and civil machines. It was the first opportunity that the aircraft industry has had of displaying the progress that has been made during the war years, and the way in which the knowledge gained is being applied to the problems of civil air transport. More than 6,000 guests representing aviation in forty different countries attended, and. it is already announced that the Avro Company, as secured foreign orders worth some £2 millions and Messrs. de Havilland some £3 millions. A target of £16 millions in the next three years is confidently expected to be reached.
